Wake Up Inspired and Go Home Fullfilled
A Message of Gratitude from Mr. Park
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
As we enter this season of gratitude, I want to take a moment to share my heartfelt appreciation for each of you and for our incredible school community. It is truly a blessing to serve as the principal of A. Russell Knight Elementary School. The joy I experience each day comes from the privilege of working with your children, connecting with your families, and collaborating with our dedicated staff to support every child’s growth.
Our school vision is a simple one: to ensure that every member of our community wakes up inspired and goes home fulfilled. I can tell you sincerely that my experience here reflects that vision every single day. Because of your children and because of this community, I wake up inspired, eager to walk into school, and I go home fulfilled, carrying with me a deep sense of purpose and gratitude.
Thank you for your partnership, your trust, and the many ways you help make our school a place where students feel safe, seen, and inspired to do their best. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to serve your family and to be part of such a caring and vibrant community.
Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with rest, gratitude, and meaningful time together.
Warmly,
Mr. Park
Principal, A. Russell Knight Elementary School

Core Value of the Month -- SERVICE
We share a quote each week during morning announcements. Please consider having a dialogue about the meaning of the quotes and the meaning of SERVICE. Better yet go live it out with your children. Let them experience the joy of serving others.
Family Culture Talk Questions:
- How does your family define service or serve others?
- How can we serve our friends and staff at school?
- What does that look like in the classroom? During lunch and recess?
